Chapter Five: Scars

Bella's eyes fluttered open as she let out a soft groan. Her head throbbed and her stomach was quite queasy. She struggled to keep her eyes open. Bella slowly forced herself upwards, but only to fall backwards and back onto the bed. Where was Edward?

She finally pushed herself off of the bed, the nauseous feeling growing with each step. Bella staggered to the kitchen and croaked out "Edward?"

No response.

Her eyes flickered to the granite counter in the kitchen, a piece of paper gently folded in the middle of the counter. She stumbled over to it and picked up the piece of paper and scanned through it.

My love,

I apologize for my absence, but I have gained a small thirst.

I have gone to the mainland to hunt. I should be back before you wake.

I can't wait to see your beautiful face.

I love you.

Yours Truly, Edward.

Bella placed the piece of paper down and started opening cabinets, looking for something that would soothe her pain. She couldn't believe she was getting sick while PMSing while on her honeymoon. After popping two aspirin into her mouth, she shuffled back to bed, pulling the covers over her head.

Everything was dark.

Bella couldn't see one thing around her. All she could feel was two metal cuffs around her wrists and the cold concrete floor.

Blood was trickling down her nose, and into her mouth. She spat it onto the floor and then tugged on her wrists. She was chained to the wall. Bella could tell she wasn't a vampire, or else she wouldn't be in these chains.

"Momma?" Bella's head whipped around to see her little girl chained to the wall beside her. Her eye was swollen black and her lip was puffy as well. Blood trickled down the side of her head. Bella's throat closed as she choked on tears.

"Momma, it's okay. I'm fine. You're worse."

Bella tried to stand, but pain shot at her like a train. She collapsed down onto the ground, near the small ray of sunshine. She could see she was wearing a white, ripped t-shirt, but there was a long blood streak across her stomach. The pain slapped her across the face several times.

"We have to get out of here," Bella croaked struggling to sit up. She could feel that both of her legs were broken. A sadistic laugh echoed through the cold room, sending her hairs on edge. It took her a few moments to realize it was Renesmee.

"What's the point? Everyone's dead. My Jakey is dead, because of you." The sharpness of her voice slashed Bella.

"Renesmee, sweetie, I don't understand."

"And it was all because Dad couldn't keep his junk in his pants. You disgust me," she snapped, her eyes shooting daggers.

That's when she heard it.

The soft cry of a baby reverberated through her ears. Bella's mouth fell in shock, and the tears slowly started to fall.

The chains on her hands disappeared and suddenly a small child was in her hands.

Something started trickling down her neck, so she reached her hand to touch it. It was her own blood. The baby gurgled, blood suddenly smearing it's face. Her eyes flickered to Renesmee, and she saw the worst thing.

The child in her arms was gone, and now suckling on Renesmee's neck, it's fingers protruding her flesh.

The baby turned it's mouth, and one word came out of it's mouth.

"Momma?"

Bella shot upwards, choking on her own sobs. She heard something shatter, and the next thing she knew, Edward's cold arms were holding her. Bella hiccupped as more tears flowed down her cheeks. Edward's shirt was now turning dark grey, due to the wetness of her tears.

After Bella had finally calmed down, Edward stopped rubbing circles on her back and gently unattached her from his shirt. "Another nightmare?" He asked in a soft whisper.

Bella gave a nod, feeling numb. "This one was different."

He pulled Bella onto his lap and she rested her head on his chest. "Do you want to talk about it, love?"

Bella weighed the options in her head. It was only a nightmare. They were being careful. There was no way she would ever be... pregnant. The thought saddened her, but she ignored it. "No, it's okay," Bella reassured him. "Let's go enjoy our day."

Edward looked at her dumbfounded. His expression changed quickly into a small smile. "What would you like to do today, Mrs. Cullen?" Bella racked her mind, searching for ideas.

"Snorkel?"

Edward grinned. "Sounds like a plan, beautiful."

Bella walked with Edward to the house closet, only one thought stuck in her mind.

What he doesn't know, can't hurt him. Right?

Bella laid on a towel, watching Edward trying to catch a fish with his bare hands. The fish were deathly afraid of him, so everytime he tried to grab one, it would swim away. It was very amusing.

She giggled as he dove into the shallow waters, chasing one fish. The water splashed, and he finally lifted his hands up, holding a small fish. Bella clapped her hands as he dropped the fish and ran back up to her, a childish smile on him. She blinked, and when she opened her eyes, Edward was hovering over top of her, getting water all over her.

Bella screeched and attempted to escape his arm cage, but her would just pull her back, chuckling every time. When Bella saw an opportunity, she squirmed away from him. Apparently Edward had something else in mind.

He grabbed her hips and threw her over his shoulder. Bella laughed and screamed as she pounded against his bare back. It was no use. He waded into the transparent waters and when he was up to his waist, he threw her into the water.

Bella surfaced, her hair cloaking her grim expression. She walked over to him and jumped on top of him, trying to push him down. Edward laughed at her attempt. Instead he slowly went underwater, holding her in his arms.

When the came up, Bella was in his arms, a soft smile on her face. Edward wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close. "I wish we never had to leave," Bella admitted, her arms around his neck. She rested her head against his shoulder.

"We can always come back," Edward promised, kissing her hair.

"Then we'll both be sparkling." He laughed.

"I love you Bella."

Bella hesitated.

"Bella?"

"Will you love me even if I'm a monster?"

Edward gave a small smile. "You'll be my little monster."

Then he kissed her.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

When Bella woke up the next day, the nauseous feeling returned. Edward had woken her in the morning saying he was going to the shore to get some more food for her. She was once again, alone.

After changing into some casual clothes, she walked into the kitchen and took some more aspirin.

She scavenged through the fridge, and snatched up an apple. Bella took a huge bite and chewed slowly, as the nauseousness grew.

Her stomach flipped, and that's when Bella realized what was happening. She dropped the apple on the floor and bolted towards the washroom.

Bella dropped to her knees in front of the toilet and vomited. She held her stomach as she lifted her head up to see the worst thing imaginable. She had just vomited up blood.

Fear raced through her mind as she closed the toilet lid. What was happening?

She ran to her and Edward's bathroom, a piece of toilet paper in her hand. The wastebasket in the bedroom sat in the corner, completely full. Bella picked up the bin and started scavenging through it, using the piece of toilet paper in her hands. When she found what she was looking for, she lifted up the toilet paper, making sure she didn't touch the contents.

The condom was completely broken. So Edward had lied to her. Her jaw clenched as she dropped the trash back into the trashcan, another wave of sickness hitting her.

After throwing up, Bella closed the lid once more, and lifted her head up to see Edward standing near the doorway. He rushed towards her and pushed her hair back. "Love, are you okay? Should I call a doctor?"

Bella lifted up to the toilet seat and Edward held her hair as she continued to vomit up blood and other contents.

When she was done, she looked at Edward. "How many days since the wedding?"

"Bella, what does this-"

"Edward, just answer the damn question."

"Ten."

"Fuck!" Bella stood up and walked over to the bathroom counter.

"Bella, will you tell me what the hell is going on?"

Bella pushed her hair back and leaned against the counter.

"I'm pregnant."
